I went to the mayor on this, he got back to me the next day with apologies and tried to stick up for the guy a little. Once I went through the whole thing with him he said he would see what he could do.
The city has 2 inspectors, the backup guy called me within 2 minutes of talking to the mayor nice as can be and I have an inspection for Tuesday 11-12. I hope this closes it out and doesn't bust my balls over this.
John nobody is perfect and not everything goes to plan but a simple phone call would have prevented any of this.
